Instructions
How to Make Whipped Feta & Hot Honey Crostini
- Measure all ingredients for the hot honey and add them to a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts of 15-20 seconds until syrupy and runny. Stir well before and between bursts of heating. Set aside until you’re ready to assemble.
- To the bowl of a food processor, add the feta cheese, cream cheese, and cottage cheese. Pulse several times to combine, then process until smooth and creamy. Pause as needed to scrape the sides with a soft spatula for an even texture.
- To build the crostinis, use a spoon to spread the whipped feta across each piece of toasted baguette. Leave a few bumps and ridges to catch the hot honey.
- Sprinkle with the chopped pecans and add a small sprig of fresh rosemary to each crostini. Drizzle the hot honey over each piece and finish with cracked black pepper to taste.
- Serve alongside any remaining hot honey for re-garnishing as needed. These are sure to be a hit!
Notes
For the best flavor, use high-quality feta and avoid over-processing the cheese mixture. Serve immediately for optimal crunch.
